Similar to a previous post, but I am running an iMac G5, recently upgraded to
OSX 10.5, now refuses to start up Virtual PC 7.  It simply creates an error
report saying that it encountered an error and will restart after sending an
error report to Microsoft.  It has been running well, even after the upgrade,
but today, when I need it - it does not let me get near it.  It has been
regularly updated automatically since installation a few years ago and I have
obtained and re-installed the upgrade to 7.0.3, to no avail???

Any advice would be much appreciated

First try the stand Mac OSX voodoo of running Disk Utility and Repairing
Disk and Repair Disk Permissions.  If that fails try moving the PLIST file
to the desktop (while VPC is not running) and then start VPC to allow it to
rebuild a new one.

Many thanks Fred.  

I first tried plutil to check both plist files and both were reported as
being OK.  I then moved the plist files to the desktop and restarted Virtual
PC AOK.  Yesterday, I found it would start OK if I ran it from the repair
utility in the Virtual PC package file set - but it would start otherwise.

Many thanks - much appreciated

Tony
